Czarownice przed sądem. Kobiety nie były uznawane za człowieka. Magdalena Kowalska-Cichy

Who was accused of witchcraft and why? Which elements of what we "know about witches" are stereotypes? A conversation with Magdalena Kowalska-Cichy was moderated by Paweł Błach. Magdalena Kowalska-Cichy is a historian, cultural studies scholar, and tourist guide. She studied at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin and is currently affiliated with the Radom Region Local Tourist Organization. She is a member of the Polish Historical Society, the Radom Scientific Society, the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society, and the Mleczna Road Association, among others. She is primarily interested in the history of witch persecution and the criminal underworld in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from the 16th to the 18th centuries. She is the author of press and academic articles, a co-editor of the Polish-language Wikipedia, and the administrator of the blogs "Nie tylko genealogia" and "Nie tylko dzice" (Not Only Genealogy). The fruit of her interests are two books: "Magic and Witchcraft Trials in Old Polish Lublin" (2019) and "Witches. Another Guide to Lublin" (2026).
